Resealing my slide out roof(outside edge/corner)

How do I reseal the outer edge/corner of the roof of my slide out? There is some old tape product there now but it is dried out in some areas with some small holes. I wasn't sure if I could just use lap sealant to seal it.
  • Just make sure whatever you use, it will clear the opening when bringing the slide in. Some openings can get very close to the slide roof when the slide is in.
  • I just resealed that area of mine, at season end last year, after a little mishap. I reused the tape type strip adding some dicor lap sealant where needed. Not the self leveling. I did leave the slide out for several days, to be sure the dicor had some time to set up good, so it would not stick to something it shouldn't after closing slide. It held up/sealed good/looked good all this season.

  • Eternabond is what I use on all my rood edges, including slide outs. You can get it at most RV places or online. I prefer the 4" wide rolls.
  • Without a picture I won’t make a recommendation. Sorry
